Last Thursday, the campus of the German Embassy School Addis Ababa transformed into a place of lived diversity and cultural curiosity. During the German-Ethiopian Cultural Exchange Day, everything revolved around togetherness, creativity, and cultural exchange. Already in the morning, the schoolyard and classrooms were filled with lively activity: students of all grade levels took part in various projects that combined German and Ethiopian traditions in exciting ways. Whether pottery, dyeing, crafts, dancing, or cooking – everywhere there was experimenting, laughing, creating, and marveling. In the pottery workshop, artistic vessels and figures were created, while in the dyeing corner, brightly colored fabrics shone with natural pigments, and birdhouses were built in the crafts area. The delicious aroma from the school kitchen filled the entire building – students and teachers cooked traditional Ethiopian and German dishes together, tasted them, and proudly presented the results. A special highlight of the day was the final celebration with the entire school community, where the project results were showcased and parents proudly admired their children’s creations. Through a colorful exhibition, musical performances, and culinary delights, the students demonstrated what they had learned and achieved. The Cultural Exchange Day was more than just a project day – it was a vibrant symbol of how enriching cultural diversity can be and how strong a united community truly is.
